Michael Penix to the Falcons!?! J.J. McCarthy get his wish & look out for Caleb Williams & the Bears

Published 2024-04-29
Fox Sports’ lead college football analyst Joel Klatt is back after covering the NFL Draft from Detroit and starts the show by discussing the most surprising pick: the Falcons taking Michael Penix Jr with the 8th pick. He breaks down why Atlanta’s decision-making this offseason has put both Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix Jr in a bad spot. Klatt also discusses the Giants’ decision to pass on J.J. McCarthy and the Vikings ultimately landing the Michigan QB. The Bears landed two elite talents in the Top 10 in Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze and look poised for a potential playoff run next season. The Broncos have received criticism for where they drafted Bo Nix but Klatt explains why they made the right choice. Finally, Joel discusses why the Cowboys could regret not drafting a Running Back and why Washington had a great draft selecting Illinois DT Jer’Zhan Newton and Michigan DB Mike Sainristil along with the 2nd overall pick in the Draft, LSU QB Jayden Daniels.

    The spring break analogy was wild😂😂

    “What are we doing” whilst holding your temples, had me in stitches…😂😂😂
  • @Tuckerh22
    “Don’t think of the color red” was hilarious 😂

    🤣🤣🤣🤣 yoo what! Y'all were catching that 2nd hand smoke 😈🤣. Go blue! I love that you told us that! You have THE best content Joel!
  • @dakotaflowers0
    Joel, it was an absolute joy watching the broadcast with you, DJ and Rich. Truly a trio of greatness.
  • Good work Joel, you're a tireless worker! From NFL Draft coverage on Thurs/Fri, to UFL broadcasts on Sat/Sun, to a podcast episode on Monday, well done sir!
  • @cblang8115
    Contact high at the draft is genuinely hilarious 😭
  • @HyzersGR
    It was cool to see Nick Saban of all people say that Mikey Sainristil was pound for pound the best defensive player in the draft. Being a 5'10" 180 lb nickel is why he was a second round pick obviously but he didn't even start playing defense until 2 years ago.
  • The funniest photo of the draft was the falcons gm immediately defending his penix pick with the owner lol.
  • @youdontknow7190
    14:42 I’m a Giants fan and also Michigan fan. I’m glad that JJ went to Minnesota. The Giants and the Vikings do not have the same situation or players obviously. I don’t think JJ would’ve succeeded in New York and still have a better chance Minnesota. As the Giants had a solid B draft.
  • You’re my favorite football commentator; I’ve learned the most about the game from you. Thanks and much respect!
  • @Dosa7777
    This is the way to start a week Joel😂🤣 Thanks for making my morning 😂💀
  • @FRIARTOWN1904
    Ty Joel for representing College football & the NFL a true Gentleman & top tier scout and your love & passion to the game is undeniable... Not comparing you to the Legend but you remind me of the late great John Madden when it comes to Football 101....
  • @Thegooman67
    I love that Charles Davis was probably second hand high 😂
  • @jvandyck87
    The Falcons missed a huge part of the "Green Bay model," which is that the QB who's being succeeded has already established themselves in Green Bay for 10-15 years. Not a guy who hasn't even participated in a single practice for your team like Kirk Cousins with the Falcons. And a succession plan with a developmental guy taken in the 20s, not a guy who's ready to go, taken at #8 overall.
  • @troyster28
    thank you for not sugar coating the falcons pick. Absolute horrid decision by the front office. Submarining the locker room is a great point especially because Penix is play now type of prospect I mean the dude is 24. I would understand it more if they went after a prospect like JJ McCarthy since he is so young and needs more time to develop. You gotta feel bad for kirk he will have a ton of pressure on him in practice and in games. No one should or can make it make sense. Sure if penix starts three years from now and they win a super bowl that's great, but that means they're kind of punting on this season when they could have bought all in on the defensive side of the ball and chased a ring this year. Maybe they still can if Bralen Trice ends up with 15 sacks but I highly doubt it.
